Extreme cold to recover Elche football clubs main team (Elche CF)

- Players have undergone full length cryotherapy, with temperatures of -160°.

- The IMED Elche Hospital is the first center in the province where this treatment can be performed in a full length cryotherapy cabin.

Some of the players of Elches main football team (Elche CF) passed by the IMED Elche Hospital yesterday, where they underwent a full length cryotherapy session to prove the positive effects the treatment can have when used by elite athletes.

Cryotherapy has been a tradition for a long time in Eastern European countries, and it has now been introduced in our province by the brand Cryogenics, that has been implemented in IMED Elche Hospital to begin using this treatment.

Cryotherapy consists in exposing the body to extremely low temperatures (-160 °), for a short period of time (between 2 to 3 minutes). This treatment works to activate the immune system and other body processes that are incredibly beneficial on several levels. With regards to sports medicine, the cold allows better recovery after intense training (football matches, high intensity training...). It is a very good complement for recovery from injuries due to its analgesic effect.

Cryotherapy has been popularized in recent years because of its use by world-class players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been using this therapy for more than a year.

Cryogenics is the first company to install this type of service whole body cryotherapy in the province of Alicante.
